Sweet Bough Bakery

Sweet Bough Bakery has been in operation since 2010. The owner cum baker is Daisy
Lim. Daisy is a trained pastry chef. She decided to open her bakery after working in many
restaurants and hotels for several years.
Daisy enjoys working as early as 5 a.m. She likes to prepare her ingredients and start
baking in a quiet environment. During that time, she loves trying new recipes too. Sweet
Dough Bakery is a small shop, so it does not have tables and chairs. There are only a
countertop and a few stools. She makes cakes, cupcakes, glazed doughnuts, Danish pastries,
muffins and pies. The only drink she serves is tea.
Daisy has an assistant baker to help her and two waitresses cum cashiers. The bakery
is open everyday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. except on Tuesdays.
In January 2018, Daisy visited Italy. She went there to learn some Italian desserts. She
spent a few weeks visiting bakeries, tasting popular desserts and learning how to make them.
She tried various desserts and pastries. Among them, she loved two desserts the most which
are cannoli and panna cotta. After she returned home, she decided to add them in her menu.
Cannoli is a Sicilian pastry dessert. It consists of a tube-shaped shell of fried pastry
dough filled with a sweet creamy filling. Panna cotta is a dessert made from sweetened
thickened cream. The cream has a coffee flavour. Daisy tried panna cotta garnished with
chocolate, caramel and a thick fruit sauce while in Italy. She liked it best with caramel. Her
two new desserts have been a hit among customers since she started serving them in March
2018.

How Teenagers Can Earn Extra Money

It is never too early to save! But if you feel you do not have enough pocket money to
save and spend, you can either spend less or earn extra. The following are simple jobs you
can do to earn extra money,
Babysitting for your family, friends and neighbours is one possible option to earn
some money. If you are a responsible person and like children, of course, this is a suitable
part-time job for you. If you have never done babysitting before, you can offer to help out
when one parent or an adult is at home. You should also know some basic first-aid
procedures. Potential clients will be more confident to let you babysit their child if they know
you have some prior babysitting experience and know what to do in an emergency situation.
Doing gardening is another part-time job that you can try. It may be a heavy work but
you do not need any experience. Many parents are too engaged to spend their time on
gardening. However, they still want a clean garden. Inform your neighbours or post a notice
on the community noticeboard to offer your gardening service. You can rake leaves, trim
bushes or cut the grass for a fee. If the work is too heavy for one person, consider teaming up
with a friend or a cousin. Share the work and the proceeds.
Another part-time job to do is to help your elderly neighbours with errands. If there
are elderly neighbours who need help, talk to them about how you can help them. Make sure
you tell them that it is a paid service. Some of the work you can offer to do are buying
groceries, gardening, moving furniture or fixing computer problems.
One other suitable part-time job is to be a tutor. If you are a smart student, you can
tutor younger children. Tutoring is not limited to academic subjects only. If you are talented
in playing a musical instrument, consider giving music lessons.
You probably already have household chores to do. But why don’t you ask your
parents if you can take on more chores for a reasonable fee? If your parents usually send their
cars to a car wash, ask them to let you do it for RM10. If the fee is too high, try to negotiate
with them. Once your parents see what a good job you have done, you can ask for a higher
fee.
If you are an animal lover, caring for pets is another way to earn extra money. Tell
your family, friends and neighbours that you are available to look after their pets when they
are away on holidays. Sending pets to a pet boarding can be very expensive. You can offer an
attractive one-off fee to entice more customers to let them leave their pets under your care.
Choose no more than five words and/or a number from the text for each answer.
25. A person who is responsible, likes children and knows _______________________ can do
babysitting.
26. To gain experience as a babysitter, you can help out by caring a child when there is
_______________________.
27. How do you inform prospective clients about your gardening business?
Post a notice on the community noticeboard or _______________________.
28. Which part-time job can you carry out in a team? __________________________________.
29. Before you start fixing an elderly neighbour’s computer, tell them that you are providing
_______________________.
30. If you are good in your studies or a talented musician, you can be a
_______________________.
31. You probably can negotiate for _______________________ with your parents, if you did a
good job on the given chores.
32. Animal lovers can earn extra money by _______________________ when their owners are
away.
